[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 140134, member: 26980"] The thing with these is that they won't go to ground for water. You need to have an elevated water dish of some kind that won't fall down. I had the same issue with my C versicolor. Despite the fact that they come from regions that are humid at ground level, they can get hurt or killed by excess humidity. It's really easy to see why. Humid air is denser then less humid air. That's why fog tends to hug the ground. These guys live in trees, some of them close to 100 feet off of the ground, a few even higher. They are used to drinking water from nooks and crannies in trees. They also like lots of ventilation. Jamie's tarantulas makes a wonderful juvenile enclosure for smaller specimens. If you have a large juvenile or sub adult or bigger, consider using an ExoTerra nano tall enclosure or something similar to that. Jamie's also has a wonderful adult size enclosure for adults, but it costs more & its acrylic. The nano is glass. My versicolor just loves his ExoTerra enclosure. In general, the enclosure should have a vertical orientation, by which I mean taller then it is wide. [/QUOTE]
